Tems becomes the first female Nigerian artiste to win a Grammy Award + Full list of winners



Tems became the first female Nigerian artiste to win a Grammy award as she won the ‘Best Melodic Rap Performance’ category on Sunday night for her role in ‘Wait for U’, the 2022 hit song by Future featuring Drake.

Unfortunately, Burna Boy's hopes of adding another Grammy plaque to his award cabinet was dashed after he lost his two nominations. He lost the Best Global Song performance for which 'Last Last' was nominated and Best Global Album for which 'Love, Damini' was nominated.
